ILX Milk Carton

he got me a covid test tho! Thank u milty p

awww that's sweet

I really really enjoyed meeting him IRL (finally) at their Eugene show

yes same for Hadrian, co-sign.

s.s. is delightful on fb and recently shared that his son's band, who is good and cool, opened up for horsegirl in toronto

oope, montreal i think

Yeah, I have a real soft spot for Skot. He had such a unique and funny, yet seemingly effortless style. Really great high/low brow combination music taste. I've created playlists based on some of the threads/mixes he made.

back in the noise board days when hipster dudes impressed me and all i wanted to hear was music made in the 1970s his posts were invaluable

he was hip-conversant but dug deeper and was charmingly wide-eyed about everything

I didn't/don't really think of him as a hipster, but "charmingly wide-eyed about everything" otm.

i think i wanted to copy that for a few years but eventually i grew into my own sensibility, which is a clubbed up, dilettantish mess, from which i ask compelling questions such as "isn't this vocal house track from 2012 transporting?!??"

oh to be clear i wasn't calling him a hipster at all, just that he hung out in noise board threads with posters who absolutely were hipsters, who i was impressed by.

Dylannnnnn

still pops up every couple of months?

Yeah

His Twitter is great.

i miss skot being here too, one of my favorite writers of all time. his emp presentation on todd terry from… oh, maybe ten years ago now???? was hilarious and thoughtful in equal measure

his 2007 paper at emp was my favourite of that year (along with nate patrin's)

I loved his contribution to the Marooned book; he described how Divine Styler's Spiral Walls Containing Autumns of Light was itself like a life preserver for him in a time of loss. In fact his writing was so evocative that, listening to the record, I could only hear it "as if he was listening too".

Dylannnn has a twitter? What is it

I miss one way street, hope they are well.

I was thinking the other day I hadn't noticed Granny Dainger around in a while.

Was going to say ums but appears he's exclusively posting about basketball in recent months.

As everyone should.

What happened to LBI?

I think he just got very busy with work, we are friends on FB but he never posts there either

hrbl

schlump?

schluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump!

Indeed.

dubplatestyle (alive and well?)

alive and well (if extremely grumpy) on twitter

i miss marcos!

Extremely grumpy but funny, he's still got it!

at first i thought that was about marcos, and the "extremely grumpy" part was making no sense!

Dmac?

Living his best life on IG and elsewhere, doing fine.

and he popped in for some Top Gun discussion recently but let's not go there

He actually posted a couple of times this past month but yeah he’s gone for good ito being a regular afaict

missing top bloke nakhchivan atm

And i’ve been missing r|t|c !

yes! I always think of him whenever I see qpr on the telly or when you bump the dj q thread. great poster.

Got quite a shock scrolling to the bottom of this tweet about a very interesting looking article:

In 1965, Malcolm X visited the town of Smethwick following a racist election campaign. Described by the Indian Workers' Association as a “shot in the arm for the anti-racist struggle in Britain”, it’s a powerful story of solidarity.

Me for @onlinehyphen.https://t.co/w2rNL8B8Hl
